Daily active users on Sandbox and Decentraland, two Metaverse platforms both valued at $1B+, peaked at 4,503 and 675 individuals respectively before declining to 522 and 38 in October 2022.

Meta’s Horizon Worlds boasted 300,000 monthly users in February 2022, and company management projected 500,000+ users by the end of the year. Just eight months later, monthly usage fell below 200,000 users as most visitors didn’t return after their first month.

Young Europeans are spending money in the metaverse

Almost half of eight- to 12-year-olds have already bought a digital product, and a third are even willing to spend their own money.

Thirty-seven percent of young European parents whose children play in the metaverse say their child has spent money (their own or their partner’s).

71% of European parents say their children influence their regular purchases.

On the children's side, 45% of eight- to 12-year-olds say that they have already bought a digital product in a virtual video game, such as Fortnite and its selection of “skins”. A similar proportion was noted among 13- to 17-year-olds, with 47% having made such purchases.

More and more brands, such as the BBC, Specsavers and Hugo Boss, have entered the metaverse in recent months. Forty-two percent of parents even say that their children have become interested in a brand after seeing it in a game.
